Women are like flowers, they wither if they lack water. In real life, factors such as aging, wind, sunlight, and heating can cause the loss of moisture in the skin. Especially during autumn and winter, the decrease in air moisture accelerates the rate of moisture loss. So how can we hydrate our skin?
Rose Water Hydration
Ingredients: 10 fresh roses or 50g dried rose petals.
Instructions: Wash the rose petals and put them in a pot with approximately 500ml of water. Add a teaspoon of clean rose petals and simmer on low heat until the rose petals change color.

Let it cool, then pour the rose water into a glass bottle to use as a toner.
Benefits: Rose water can quickly penetrate deep into the skin, smoothing out fine lines and restoring a healthy and moisturized complexion. It has abundant water energy that can revitalize the skin, and is known as the "elixir" that awakens the skin due to its magical hydrating effect.
